Colouring In

Here are a couple of images that I completed recently and coloured in photoshop.

The first one is one I came up with when I couldn't think of anything else to draw. It was a bit of an experiment really. Plus the drawing describes how I was feeling at the time.

I really quite like colouring in photoshop it has been a completely different experience from that of using inks. You get a different texture, and there still is a search for the right colour but here I'm basically just pressing buttons. I also loved playing around with the eraser and brush tools. They would have a completely different feel to them if I had just used ink.

The second one was the one I created as a cover for my comic. This one is about my friend Kate. That is basically all you need to know. When you read it you will be getting to know Kate a little more with each page you read.

The idea came about a year or so ago when I decided to do an animation about her because her life seemed be come straight out of some strange sitcom. But then I started getting into comic books and it all came together nicely after I thought about it, said I'd start doing it several times and produced various images and comics that I wasn't completely fond of. "Kate and Coffee" is the finished product. The End.
